"Purebirth is not a cry or demand for perfection. There have been enough demands made of women already. Purebirth can be long and loud. It can be painful, and it can withstand pain as well as periods of tension and impatience. But it is pure because it is our own. It is not Pitocin's labor or Demerol's labor or the doctor's labor. It is something that we do ourselves, for ourselves, and for our babies."
Silent Knife by Nancy Wainer Cohen & Lois J. Estner, 1983

"When pain is to be borne, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympthany more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all."
